They just don't really think about the fact that we have a kind of weird form of government that gives the head of government a lot less power than in Parliamentary systems,

Most Americans don't understand the different parliamentary systems. I can remember when I was first introduced to the idea that with a vote of no confidence, a parliament can dissolve and new elections are held. Dissolve? What do you mean? Like the House of Representatives and the Senate dissolve? I cannot keep everything there straight, or which country has what system.
